Breaking news from the Telegraph UK, secret government files reveal that Pakistani security forces sheltered Osama bin Laden from capture by U.S. forces for 10 years.

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISID) helped smuggle al-Qaeda terrorists through airport security to help them avoid capture and even sent troops into Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban.

Government documents leaked by Wikileaks reveal that Guantanamo Bay terrorism detainees knew about the Pakistani government’s cooperation with Al Qaeda to smuggle terrorists through airport security.

The U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden was kept secret from the Pakistan government and only a few people in the Obama administration knew about the operation to kill bin Laden.

A government document stated:

“In Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden wasn’t an invisible man, and many knew his whereabouts in North Waziristan, but whenever security forces attempted a raid on his hideouts, the enemy received warning of their approach from sources in the security forces.”
